11. Naked, Bongo-Playing McConaughey. Though the naked part is definitely appealing, the stoned bongo-playing is a bit much, even for Matthew. Choose no clothes or choose bongos, but choose both at once and you're dangerously close to hippie territory.

10. Friend of Lance Armstrong McConaughey. While it was great to see Matthew exercising shirtless in public so regularly, hindsight clearly demonstrates that exercising shirtless in public is kind of a douchey thing to do. But at the time, his glistening, chiseled abs tricked many women into believing this was acceptable behavior.

7. "Walkaway Joe" McConaughey. In one of his first roles, Matthew played the titular role of Walkaway Joe in this classic Trisha Yearwood video. Despite the fact that he's born to be a leaver and he's destined to deceive her, he's still really effing hot.

5. Dazed and Confused McConaughey. His first film appearance and thus your first exposure to the legend in the making. This role just so happened to become so iconic that he quotes it pretty much everytime he wins something for Dallas Buyers Club.

4. Classic Rom-Com McConaughey. Will anyone ever top McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or The Wedding Planner? No.

3. Proud Father McConaughey. Watching him carry his tiny children around just really does a number on the ovaries.
